Lys-MDMA, or lysine-MDMA, also known as N-(L-lysinamidyl)-MDMA, is a prodrug of MDMA which is being investigated for possible use as a pharmaceutical drug in the treatment of psychiatric disorders.[1][2][3][4][5] Structurally, lys-MDMA is to MDMA as lisdexamfetamine is to dextroamphetamine[4][3] As of August 2024, a phase 1 clinical trial comparing MDMA, MDA, lys-MDMA, and lys-MDA has been conducted and completed.[1][2][5] Lys-MDMA is being developed by MindMed.[2][5]

Journal of Forensic Sciences. 65 (3): 913–920. doi:10.1111/1556-4029.14268. PMID 31943218. Lisdexamfetamine (N-(1-phenylpropan-2-yl)lysinamide) (Fig. 1A) can be prescribed in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and binge eating disorder in adults and consists of dextroamphetamine (d-amphetamine) derivatized with the amino acid L-lysine (11,12). While lisdexamphetamine itself is pharmacologically inactive, in vivo peptidase enzymes associated with red blood cells hydrolyze the amide bond, thereby allowing pharmacological effects being exerted through d-amphetamine (13). The delayed absorption and metabolic profile for formation of the active drug reduces lisdexamfetamine's abuse liability and increases its safety profile (11,12). However, use of lisdexamfetamine has been mentioned in some Internet user forums as well as lysineMDMA (5,14,15).
